JR’s Old World Skill Overhaul – Beta Branch
This mod updates Old World lord skill trees to bring up their power level and match their Total War: Warhammer 2 counterparts.
You need to be using the "Festag Beta" in Total War: Warhammer 2 in order to use this mod! Read here to know more.[www.totalwar.com]
The skill changes in the beta branch is a great step forward by CA. However, it still misses some things as outlined in my feature overview. If you want improved but still vanilla campaign skills for old world lords then this is the mod for you.
- Updated Campaign Skill Tree: All Old World lord blue skill trees have been updated to TW:WH2’s standard. Some special blue skills moved to Unique Skills section.
- Reorganized Unique Skills: Updated the organization of Unique Skills so they’re on the second line rather than first line. Warhammer 2 lords are like this and it reduces clutter/increases clarity of what’s special to a lord.
- Brings back additional Unique Skills: Some lords lost some unique skills, especially battle unique skills. This mod brings them back. Some have been rebalanced due to the existance of other new battle skills.
- Venerate the Anscestors: Dwarf Lords may now choose to venerate a single ancestor, providing unique bonuses.
- Skill Adjustments: Some adjustments to some skills. Example: Ancesteral Grudges now provides damage bonuses against elves.
- Mixu’s Gods of the Empire. Adds in unique god dedicaiton skills to Human, Bretonnian, Southern Realm, and Kislev.
- Currently there is no specific compatability with other mods. Other skill mods may clash with this one, due to all the movements of skills I made.
- Even if you don’t own Game 1, these skill changes will apply to Game 1 races in the Vortex Campaign.
- I highly recommend starting a new game. Any skills that have been replaced or moved won’t be skilled anymore, so it isn’t really save game compatible. It’ll still work mind you.
This mod will be depricated when the Beta goes live, and will return to the main mod page. This page may still be used in the future to test new updates for my overhaul however.
I will add additional "god choices" skills to other races later on. I’m working on adding this for Vampires and Wood Elves next.
I’d love to hear feedback on the balancing of my custom skills! Please use the discussion forum for that however, so the comment section won’t be a mess.
If the mod doesn’t work (because the launcher is buggy with downloading sometimes), I’ll try and manually keep a version of the mod at this link[www.dropbox.com]. Simply drop the files into your "Total War WARHAMMER IIdata" folder and you’re good to go! Make sure you click the "enable outdated mods" checkbox to enable this mod when installing manually/without steam.
If you enjoy this mod, then please consider buying me a coffee[ko-fi.com]. I don’t expect anything for my mods, but anything I get will go towards bigger and better mods!
